Today’s release features 4 re-recorded tracks and 1 new instrumental track and is available for a limited-time only as a Comic-Con@Home 2020 exclusive 12″ picture vinyl featuring custom artwork by Dirty Donny (METALLICA, PRIMUS).
The picture vinyl release is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide and only available for pre-order from July 22nd-Aug 2nd at http://nuclearblast.com/inflames-comicconathome.
Along with today’s release, IN FLAMES has unveiled an animated video in collaboration with Stern Pinball for their newly re-recorded rendition of the fan favorite track “Pinball Map.”
Vocalist Anders Fridén comments on the band’s anniversary and upcoming release:
“It’s bizarre to look back on the past 20 years and see everything we’ve been so lucky to do. Re-recording some of our favorite tracks from Clayman was such a unique feeling knowing now how these songs have forever changed our lives. We’re not just commemorating 20 years of Clayman with this release, but 20+ years of Jesterheads, a community we’re grateful for and the best job that we can’t believe we still get to do.”
Additionally, the band has launched a new merch line featuring first time vintage “Clayman” designs and a new mask.

The celebration continues next month with the forthcoming release of a special edition reissue, “Clayman (20th Anniversary Edition),” that will arrive on August 28th from Nuclear Blast Records.
“Clayman (20th Anniversary Edition)” comes entirely remastered by Ted Jensen (PANTERA, DEFTONES, GOJIRA) and features all new artwork in a 16-page booklet, a brand-new instrumental medley plus 4 re-recorded versions of fan-favorites such as “Only For The Weak” and “Pinball Map”. Re-recorded songs were produced by Howard Benson (MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, MOTÖRHEAD) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (GREEN DAY, ROB ZOMBIE). The new instrumental track “Themes and Variations in D-Minor” was recorded and mixed by Roberto Laghi at Topfloor Studios in Gothenburg.
The record will be released digitally as well as on CD Digipak and a 2xLP colored vinyl packaged in a deluxe trifold that includes an oversized booklet, 11 remastered tracks on a 12” record and 5 bonus tracks on a 10” record in a printed sleeve.
